    Why Pamela & Steve Sparough chose Breckenridge

    After looking at properties for over three years, our unit at the Highlander came avaialable. We bought it because of the architecture, the quaintness of the sub division and what we find is the ideal location in Breckenridge i.e. walking distance to most everything. We love the location of the Highlander i.e. steps from the Snowflake trailhead & chairlift as well as amenities of the Blue Sky Lodge (health spa, ski rentals, storage) while also only 3 blocks from the center of Breckenridge. The Highlander is a diverse and global community with professionals from all walks of life and the world. We share a love of skiing, the mountains and zest for life. We love Breckenridge because of: ** its authentic and colorful history ** the well preserved Victorian architecture ** the abundant and diverse options for dining ** the art & photography galleries ** the 4-season choices for adult & child activities ** the plentiful snowfall ** the very friendly locals ** the fascinating people it attracts from around the world Each season in Breckenridge is special: ** During the ski season, there's 300' of snow, 5 holidays to celebrate as a family as well as Breck's Ulr Festival and the International Ice Sculpting Competition in January ** Mud-season beckons a walk with coffee to the nearby mountain streams, beaver ponds and private lake; We also look forward to the independent films of the Breckenridge Film Festival ** Summer features all the activities of a destination vacation including art festivals on the 4th and Labor Day weekends ** In the Autumn there's the spectacular fall colors, crisp mountain air at night and the anticipation of another ski season

    What makes this Townhome unique

    ** Our home is not a rental unit but rather our home that we rent to guests that appreciate it like we do: ** With 2400 sq ft spread over 3 levels it has an open, spacious, mountain home feel but with privacy for sleeping ** We have new Colorado slate flooring with radiant heat throughout the main floor of the home ** It’s the most secluded of all the Highlander subdivision townhomes from the road (and bus noise) ** Its steps away from the Snowflake chair lift and local bus stop; the no fees bus can take you nearby Frisco, the outlet (discount) stores of Silverthorne, the nearby ski resorts (Copper, Keystone and A-Basin) and the Breckenridge grocery store ** The private deck & hot tub overlooks the St Francis rock garden, an adjacent open area with native plantings and the town of Breckenridge; at night, it also has a great view of the Milky Way…perfect with a glass of wine ** It's impeccably clean e.g. the heated garage floor was sealed in a light color, the 2 redwood decks & hot tub were recently re-stained ** Though a car is not necessary, the heated garage has room for putting on/taking off boots and storing skis
